Abstract

We present a case of a 35-year-old woman whose myomectomy specimen revealed a leiomyoma nodule diffusely infiltrated by lymphocytes which were shown to be clonal in nature. Lymphoid infiltration of leiomyomas is a rare occurrence, and this is the first case with molecular analysis.

  • clonality
  • leiomyoma
  • lymphoid infiltrate
